San Beda College is well known for its strong community and a Bedan's graduation from college does not end his or her relationship with San Beda. In fact, Bedans bring to the practice of their professions and the exercise of office the culture and the traditions of Benedictine education.
The San Beda College Alumni Association (SBCAA) currently handles and manages the alumni network as part of its efforts to keep the Bedan spirit alive and intact among San Beda's graduates and alums. The SBCAA holds yearly the greatly anticipated Red and White Ball, usually at the NBC Tent located in The Fort Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. The Red and White Ball serves not only as a reunion for Bedans but as a social gathering of prominent people in Philippine society, as well.

“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
—Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
“Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“the San Marco Library,
Whence turbulent Italy should draw
Delight in Art whose end is peace,
In logic and in natural law
By sucking at the dugs of Greece.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
